About International Hands On Workshop on Unlocking the Power of LaTeX on Scientific Writing

LaTeX is one of the widely used software for the creation of high-quality documents, particularly in academic and scientific domains. LaTeX provides a set of commands and macros that allow users to define the structure, formatting, and layout of their documents. Rather than focusing on visual design, LaTeX emphasizes logical document structure, enabling users to focus on content creation while leaving the typesetting and formatting to the system. The proposed Two-day online international workshop on “Unlocking the power of LaTex on Scientific Writing”, is a great approach to familiarize participants with the powerful typesetting system widely used in academia and scientific research.

This two-day Online workshop will broadly focus on the LaTeX Documents (LaTeX typesetting system) and LaTeX Slide Presentation.

The proposed themes of the workshop are as follows:

  • Introduction to LaTeX for Beginners
  • Mastering LaTeX Documents
  • Advanced LaTeX Techniques
